It all started years ago with a small cross stitch card. Yes, a card! It was a tiny design only a couple of inches square. It got me hooked! Ever since then, on and off, I have been cross stitching fairly simple designs, and not huge pieces either. Bookmarks are one of my favourites to work as they are small, but not necessarily quick – some are really quite intricate.
Now I am becoming more adventurous. The design I have started stitching is big – 109cm x 38cm – or 605 stitches wide and 210 stitches high.

My grand daughter has also become very interested in cross stitch and does it every chance she gets. And, of course, I encourage her to the max. She has worked a number of bookmarks for her friends and currently stitching Pretty Little Hawaii – 18 count Aida, measuring 6.75″ x 6″.
If you are looking for a good online cross stitch supplies shop, JK’s Cross Stitching Supplies is excellent. She has everything, and if not, will try to obtain it for you. I am buying my cross stitch stand from her soon.
